New Tennessee Court of Appeals' Opinion: Trial Court Reversed Due to Erroneous Ruling as to the Admission of Medical Records

This is an appeal from a judgment entered on a jury verdict. The case arises from a
motor vehicle accident. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Appellee, and the trial
court entered a final judgment for $68,995.02. Because the trial court erred in excluding
relevant medical records, we reverse the judgment and remand for a new jury trial.

NOTE: This opinion is a great reminder of Tenn. Code Ann. sec. 24-7-122 and its effects upon evidence at trial relating to the admission of medical records. This is a must-read opinion for any trial lawyer who practices in Tennessee.
